HTML widgets in Jupyter R Notebook

Question

Im unable to display HTML widgets in Jupyter Notebooks when using R (works when using python). For example none of the plotly charts work in Jupyter R notebook. Is there any solution for this?

library(plotly)
set.seed(100)
d <- diamonds[sample(nrow(diamonds), 1000), ]
plot_ly(d, x = carat, y = price, text = paste("Clarity: ", clarity),
        mode = "markers", color = carat, size = carat)

The code executes but no graph is displayed

Answer 1

You need to make a call to embed_notebook (see the examples here).

So change your code to:

library(plotly)
set.seed(100)
d <- diamonds[sample(nrow(diamonds), 1000), ]
myPlot <- plot_ly(d, x = carat, y = price, text = paste("Clarity: ", clarity),
        mode = "markers", color = carat, size = carat)
embed_notebook(myPlot)
